When Teacher Guo went to work the next day, his reaction was very dull, as if nothing had happened. Chen Zhi was surprised at first, but children's thinking is very simple, and he thought everything was fine.
A car accident may not be a big deal.
But one thing was different. Teacher Guo never showed concern for him from then on. Even if Chen Zhi took the initiative to talk to him, Teacher Guo would not pay attention to him.
In Chen Zhi's simple thinking at that time, he thought that maybe the teacher blamed him for not going to the appointment, or he was angry for some other reason. In short, the world of adults is very strange, and he couldn't understand it at all.
Later, the teacher Guo was quickly transferred away, and Chen Zhi gradually forgot about the incident. He didn't know when this small note was put into the cover of his book.
Today, fifteen years later, when this small piece of paper appeared in front of him again, this memory that had been sealed for a long time suddenly slowly appeared in Chen Zhi's mind, and what he thought was reasonable at the time was now in his mind.
This adult's mind has become so irrational.
Doubt 1: The horsepower of that kind of Jiefang brand truck is extremely high, and a collision with a normal person is absolutely fatal. Even if the person is not killed, he should at least be seriously injured. He will not be able to stand on the podium the next day intact.
superior.
Doubt 2: A new teacher who I have only known for a few days actually asked a third-grade child to skip class and go to find him, and to go to such a far place. This is very unreasonable.
Doubt 3: Now that I recall carefully, the people behind the truck were all wearing old camouflage uniforms. Everyone was very athletic. They did not hesitate when they jumped out of the truck. This group of people
They are definitely not ordinary people, but like well-trained mercenaries. Their purpose is more like... to arrest people!
Chen Zhi didn't sleep well all night, and had been sorting out his memories, because his childhood memories were very vague, and some were even imagined by himself. But for some reason, Chen Zhi was particularly impressed by this memory, and he was very fond of some important things.
The details are pretty sure.
It was as if someone whispered in his ear: "Don't forget, you must come!".
Early the next morning, Chen Zhi went out to find a job. Without a job, he would have no income. The old man was waiting eagerly in the nursing home, but Chen Zhi's mind was always thinking about what happened last night, thinking about that
Strange Teacher Guo.
A job as a riveter is actually not difficult to find, but it is not a good time to find a job right now. The wages in most factories are not high, and they have to be paid monthly, or else you need to go to other places to work. Chen Zhi cannot go out of town, he
I still have a father to take care of.
Chen Zhi, who had been wandering around the labor market for a long time with no results, walked back to his home dejectedly. His family lived in a residential area for old workers. All the family members of Z Steel workers lived here. There was a family at the corner of the building.
Baozi shop, Liu Xiaohong is standing there selling steamed buns.
Liu Xiaohong was Chen Zhi's primary school and junior high school classmate. She was dark and thin, as if she was underdeveloped. She was also very timid, and her voice sounded like a mosquito.
When Liu Xiaohong was in junior high school, her father got lung cancer. Her family went bankrupt to treat his father's illness. They even sold their house. After her father died, she owed a large debt. Liu Xiaohong dropped out of school early and rented a house here with her mother.
They sell steamed buns on the first floor.
"Chen Zhi, have you found a job?" Liu Xiaohong saw Chen Zhi asking with concern.
Liu Xiaohong has always cared about Chen Zhi since she was in elementary school. Liu Xiaohong gave Chen Zhi the cover of his childhood book.
"No, I'll go take a look tomorrow!" Chen Zhi replied in a low voice, his eyes full of exhaustion.
Liu Xiaohong was stunned for a moment and didn't ask any more questions. She turned around and took a few buns from the steaming steamer and handed them to Chen Zhi: "You haven't eaten yet? Take them home to eat!"
"No, I've already eaten!" Although Chen Zhi is poor, he has a strong character in his heart and doesn't like to take advantage of others.
"Have you eaten? Let's save it for dinner!" Liu Xiaohong smiled and forced the bun into Chen Zhi's hand, then turned around and went to work.
Chen Zhi looked at Liu Xiaohong's face, which was flushed by the heat, and couldn't refuse anymore, and felt warm in his heart.
"By the way, Xiaohong, let me ask you something! Do you still remember the teacher Guo who gave us math class in the third grade of elementary school? Where did he go?" Chen Zhi asked, holding a hot bun.
"There is no new teacher Guo. We have had one math teacher from beginning to end, that fierce fat woman. She has never been replaced. Are you remembering correctly?" Liu Xiaohong put down her work and said
He said with a puzzled face.
"If you think about it again, it's definitely a male teacher, but he was transferred later. Did it take too long and you forgot about it?" Chen Zhi felt a little strange in his heart.
"No, I might forget about other teachers, but the math teacher will never forget it. Have you forgotten? When I was in elementary school, I was the math class representative, and I had the most contact with the math teacher," Liu Xiaohong said firmly.
Chen Zhi knew from Liu Xiaohong's eyes that she was not lying to him.
Chen Zhi was a little confused for a moment, "What's going on? Could it be that I didn't sleep well yesterday and had hallucinations? But that note is real!".
But Chen Zhi quickly determined that Mr. Guo had definitely appeared, and he was too impressed by the gold-rimmed Omega watch.
"Da Shahong, your bun shop is really disturbing the public, you know that, right? Do you believe that I smashed up your shabby stall today?"
An extremely arrogant voice sounded in the originally quiet community, interrupting the conversation between the two. Chen Zhi frowned as soon as he looked at the person.
Several young people came over from the opposite side. The leader was thin, with a fair face with freckles. His whole body was shaking when he walked, and he looked like he was twenty-five or eighty thousand. His name was Gou Shifei, and everyone called him Gou behind his back.
Right and wrong.
This guy really deserves the nickname. He has a special dog-like nature, bullies the weak and fears the strong. He especially likes to gossip about people behind their backs, and his talk is worse than that of a good old lady. After the dog's mother got divorced, she married an old man from the police station. I heard
The old man was a small leader, but no one had ever seen him, but he talked about the old man every day, and his barks were more affectionate than his own father's.
"Da Shahong, are your buns made of dead human flesh? Why are they so smelly?" Gou Shifei directly picked up a bun and stuffed it into his mouth, scolding fiercely. The two people behind him were also idle, one
He stuffed the bun into his mouth vigorously.
Liu Xiaohong is usually timid, and she wants to cry when she sees the dog in trouble, so she timidly says, "Brother Da Fei, these buns in my house are all fresh pork, they won't stink!"
"What? Did I say something wrong?" Gou Shifei threw away half the bun in his hand and kicked the stool in front of the bun shop away.
On a normal day, Chen Zhi would never pay attention to this guy. It's not that Chen Zhi is afraid of him, but this guy always brings someone with him when he comes out. In this generation, he can do anything and look like a rogue. This area is also still
There are really not many people who want to mess with him.
But today Chen Zhi saw Liu Xiaohong being bullied by him and couldn't keep silent! He had no choice but to walk over and said politely: "Da Fei, we are all old classmates, it's not easy for her, it's quite cold.
Let’s not embarrass her.”
"Chen Zhi, who do you think you are? Can you call me Da Fei? What? You want to play hero and save the beauty in front of me? You don't care how big you are. Besides, Dasha Hong is so ugly.
You have quite a strong taste~~, haha~~." After the dog finished talking, he laughed with the person behind him.
"We are all classmates, there is no need to be like this, right?" Chen Zhi suppressed his anger and said with a cold face.
"You are here to curry favor with me, you are unemployed, why are you pretending to be with me? No matter how ignorant you are, I will ask someone to arrest you..." Gou Shifei said this sharply, but did not dare to continue.
.
He saw Chen Zhi grabbing a shovel from nowhere and holding it in his hand, looking at him with a livid face.
Although Dog Shifei looks domineering and domineering on weekdays, he is actually a coward. If he really wants to take action, he will be scared in his heart.
In his impression, Chen Zhi was a taciturn person, but he knew that if such a person really got angry, even gods would dare to kill him.
"What do you want to do? My dad is the leader of the police station. If something goes wrong, you will definitely suffer the consequences!" Gou Shifei's eyes rolled around, and he secretly complained in his heart. Chen Zhi usually doesn't like to talk, so why did he become so angry today?
Chicken?
"Oh, what are you doing? You are all classmates, don't let the little things hurt your friendship!" Liu Xiaohong's mother ran out of the house and saw the situation and hurriedly smoothed things over, "Xiao Fei, yes
Our Xiaohong is not good, I neglected you, my aunt treats you to eat steamed buns, don’t be angry..."
Seeing Liu Xiaohong's mother coming out, Chen Zhi loosened the shovel in his hand.
Gou Shifei's sharp eyes knew that the steps were coming, and he immediately pointed at Chen Zhi fiercely, "Chen, just wait for me, one day I will deal with you...".
After Gou Shifei finished cursing, he quickly ran away with his men, and Chen Zhi ignored him.
After Gou Shifei left, Liu Xiaohong broke down in tears. Mother Hong comforted her, and Chen Zhi couldn't say anything, so he had to go home quietly.
After returning home, Chen Zhi took out the note again.
He looked at the note carefully. It was torn from an old piece of letter paper. Although it was yellowed, the handwriting on it was still clear, and it looked like a man's handwriting. The handwriting was neat and obviously practiced.
Pass calligraphy.
"Youth Forge..." Chen Zhi thought about this place in his mind. Ever since he grew up, he had not heard any information about this factory. After so many years, it is estimated that this factory has long been abandoned.
Chen Zhi took out his cell phone and called two elementary school classmates with whom he was still in contact. The answer he got was the same as Liu Xiaohong's. There was no such person as Teacher Guo at all.
Chen Zhi suddenly fell into a fog. This teacher Guo seemed to only appear in Chen Zhi's memory. Could it be... that he had seen a ghost?
